When ‘Stan’ dropped in 2000 it became one of Eminem’s most enduring hits. There’s a big difference, however, between a great track and one with real cultural impact. ‘Stan’ was both and the word quickly went into common use. It may have taken 17 years but the word has gained official recognition, Eminem credits and all.

The epic hit that has changed the modern vocabulary receives a new certification from the UK industry body.

Released on “The Marshall Mathers LP” in 2000, “Stan” grasped the public attention right away, and until now, it remains one of the most captivating stories told in hip hop. Of course, it became an instant hit. “Stan” was certified platinum in the UK two weeks after its release.

It took 20 more years to add two additional platinum levels to its sales history. 3 x Platinum means that “Stan” has over 1.8 million certified copies sold in the UK.
